Request

Welcome to the Typeform request gem! This gem is wrapper for the rest-client gem found at rubygems.org . It provides the following set of functions that makes it easier to access certain properties of each request.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem'request',git:'https://github.com/Typeform/ruby-request-gem.git'

Usage

Recommended usage:

Create a class to extend from Request and implement a success? method in this class. This method should assert certain attributes that you expect to be in the response of a successful request. For example, if I want to send a POST request that would return a 201 code and a JSON response if successful, then I could have a class that looks something like the following

Here I've created the constructor to send the request I want, and implemeneted the success method. This allows me to use the execute method which will send the request and assert it was succesful. Of course you can make use of the json function in the success? method to check the contents of the response itself for a more thorough check.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
